weighted_sum - convert a group of bits to an integer
Contents
Description
The weighted_sum converts a group of bits to an integer. The conversion is the sum of the weights of the
bits that are on plus any offset. The weight of the m-th bit is 2^m. This is similar to a binary coded
decimal but with more options. The hold bit stops processing the input changes so the sum will not
change.
The default value for each weight is 2^m where m is the bit number. This results in a binary to unsigned
conversion.
There is a limit of 8 weighted summers and each may have up to 16 input bits.
Functions

Read all input values and update all output values.
Name
weighted_sum - convert a group of bits to an integer
Pins
wsum.N.bit.M.in bit in
The m'th input of weighted summer n.
wsum.N.hold bit in
When TRUE, the sum output does not change. When FALSE, the sum output tracks the bit inputs
according to the weights and offset.
wsum.N.sum signed out
The output of the weighted summer
wsum.N.bit.M.weight signed rw
The weight of the m'th input of weighted summer n. The default value is 2^m.
wsum.N.offset signed rw
The offset is added to the weights corresponding to all TRUE inputs to give the final sum.
